Fanatics bought the rights to the players' likeness when Topps current deal expires in a couple years. That deal was announced last summer, and probably set in motion the merger.

No, Topps was supposed to go public until Fanatics bought the rights to the players and team logos out from under them. Then Topps dissolved their SPAC and decided not to go to IPO.

Nice to see that Fanatics decided Topps was best off for them and the industry.

Made too much sense not to happen...Topps lost it's bread and butter, and Fanatics needed a bread and butter factory.

I hope this keeps the brand alive and throws additional resources behind it. Smart move.

maybe Fanatics will be more interested in protecting their new IP than Topps ever was. Would be nice to see all of the counterfeit Topps, Bowman etc. come off of ebay.

Try listing a fake piece of Tiffany jewelry or Michael Kors Hand Bag and see how long it lasts.

They had to buy Topps or one of the other brands. Really had no choice as they have no experience printing cards.

I wonder if Fanatics will also purchase Panini or will Panini just fade away. Not really much there for them if Fanatics holds all the rights for all the major sports.

I was thinking about posting something regarding this today.....along the lines of if those of you set run collectors/builders would continue in a couple years once Topps ceased production...+/- to both sides...but I think overall happy it will continue...even if it would have given the pocketbook a small break

It's certainly plausible, but now that they own Topps and the licenses for all major sports, I assume they could just start making Topps cards for NBA and NFL as soon as panini's contract expires. Panini would be far less valuable to them now that they own Topps.

Yeah, printing cards isn't something that I see as being very complicated.

My thought too. And that created a new era of card designs and new standard of quality.

That was my understanding also

Trying to create an “Amazon” of sports collectibles putting everything under 1 ownership umbrella
